One of my plans for the next few weeks is to take a nice "dip" back into #OpenIndiana, which I haven't tried in a while. I currently have installations of both #SmartOS and #OmniOS, each with its own specific target. I also want to try installing #Tribblix on a PC that's not exactly new, but still perfectly functional.

I think it's time to write an #introduction for this account as well!
I'm Stefano Marinelli, Barista of the illumos Cafe and the BSD Cafe. I'm a technology and open source enthusiast, a strong advocate for #OwnYourData, and against computer monoculture, even when it comes to open source solutions.
I've been active in the #Fediverse for years and am a firm believer in it. I decided to found this Cafe to bring the positive spirit of the BSD Cafe to curious and passionate users of #illumos based operating systems (#OmniOS, #SmartOS, #Tribblix, #OpenIndiana, etc.).
I'll mainly use this account for content related to this instance and illumos-based operating systems, while my account at the BSD Cafe - @stefano@bsd.cafe - remains my primary one.
For more information about the illumos Cafe, you can read the introductory post here: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/

I've got another Mastodon account! Stefano has created the illumos Cafe.
I'll be using my account there to post about my adventures with retrocomputing SunOS/Solaris, and #Tribblix.

Trying Tribblix tonight, a Solaris 10-inspired Illumos distribution: http://tribblix.org/
First little hurdle was the libvirt disk not supported, switching to virtual SATA disk fixed that.
Loved the installation process. Pretty much: "Formatting, copying root filesystem. Want a receipt?"

As a Barista at BSD Cafe, I'm also an admirer of tea – a metaphor for my appreciation of the good features of other operating systems. And the fact that I like and support BSDs doesn't mean I don't appreciate those other solutions.
For example, #SmartOS, #OmniOS, and #Tribblix are superb examples of well-crafted operating systems.
Similarly, #Linux - #openSUSE Tumbleweed-based desktops give me a lot of satisfaction every day.
The foundation of my passion for Open Source also stems from the ability to study, explore, and choose without constraints or restrictions. It's that sense of freedom that drives me to appreciate the good in every solution.
If and when I feel caged or forced, all of that vanishes.
